Ultimate guide to further improving coh2
Posts: 230
youre ideas are okay, they need some tweaking but your heart is in the right space
Molotov are bullshit, especially for a player in Australia that has a 3 second delay input on most of his games (ie: me)
i tried to make a thread about it, but the mods deleted it, because 'he didn't like the idea'
i agree, 100%. this will make the game tenfold better
but relic will not do it, they're just....i don't.... they're just.... silly people.
we can make these changes in the coh2 elite mod
(they won't enable modding - since it deters sales of their doctrines and skins, YAY CAPITALISM)

Whats with the Molotov hate?? Does this ability, which has a very long and easily recognizeable animation, really ruin the early game? I mean, really? Fire nades? Conscripts are designed to be more of a close range units, while Grenadiers are better suited for long range. I really dont see the issue with molotovs at all
People just don't want to micro their units to avoid damage. The only micro germans want to do is micro that causes damage; i.e. rifle grenades.

Dude, we have to back up our tanks a lot, isn't that enough?
But seriously yeah, I think some of us would like to play Ostheer like Soviets, and you can't do that. But how many rifle nades do you have to dodge a match vs Molotovs? I don't think it's that OP, it's just annoying, like a fly you can't quite swat, over and over.

That's because there are a lot upgrades that the german players want to go for. If they want to span vanilla grens and rnades all day that's definetely an option, but I hardly ever see that option taken.

Sure you can. A rifle grenade costs just as much as a oorah+molotov charge.
Just because you can spend all your ammo on upgrades, doesn't mean you have to. You don't have to upgrade vanila grens to beat vanila conscripts. You don't have to get panzerschreks, you don't have to get a flamer halftrack. Having more options ins't a downside to playing germans, it's a bonus.
If you wan't to play germans like soviets, just pretend all those fancy unit upgrades don't exist. Suddenly you will have plenty of ammo for rifle grenades. Or, alternatively, ask relics for more soviet options to spend munitions on; like non-doctrinal conscript DP upgrades, bazookas for penal troops or whatever. Don't ask for nerfs on the one thing soviets have to spend their early game munitions on when the germans have so many nice options.

I think what a lot of people are saying is that molotovs is to much of a nobrainer. Its something you will use in pretty much every engagement, and it further reduces the effect of cower, wich Relic already toned down.
I dont have much of a problem with the molotovs themselves, but I do think its combat is to centered arround this "spellcasting" kind of gameplay.

Molotovs will continue to be a no-brainer until the Soviets get something else to spend their munitions on.
Exactly this.
I don't know how mentally challenged one need to be to think that molotovs will not be the go-to thing when it is the ONLY non doctrinal way of spending munition besides mines.
On top of that, its still additional fuel upgrade, something that germans pay nothing for, because its already included for them.

can relic remove the damage that airplanes do when they crash into the ground? it's the most ridiculous rng in the game in my opinion.What are you talking about? That' the best RNG!

Yes, it can win you a game, it can loose you a game, but it should never be touched.
Planes in vCoH did the same(gliders are not planes) and everything was fine.

Obviously. Point remains though.

Its not really any 'point' though, its just underlining/pointing out the intended design.
Soviets are ability focused faction, germans are upgrade focused faction, molotovs are offensive area denial ability.
Everything works as intended here.

Someone said that molotov should produce damage in time (maybe after 2 seconds), not from the first second, as penalty for lack of attention and/or bad micro. Maybe this?

A big muni sink for Americans in vCOH was the M8, which cost a ton for armor skirts and a gun. I don't know why they didn't do something similar with the T70. You could upgrade it somehow to pre-nerf status, or give it an MG that could do light suppression like the M8 and drop uber mines, I would love to do that playstyle again. Remember driving an M8 next to a medic bunker and dropping a mine? Good times...
Shocktroops could need to buy their SMGs like Rangers, etc. There are lots of ways they could have given Soviets more interesting munitions-based upgrades.
Instead, what we have is conscripts. Conscripts with SMGs tossing Molotovs until we all have carpal-tunnel syndrome.
